Should jeeps and trucks have AT rocket lock-on detection equipment? If they have them in real life, someone advise.

I can see tanks and aircraft having them, but a buzzer in jeeps that alerts you to a missile lock? huh?

Humvee's dont get this in game AFAIK, I think Vodniks have it but they might be fitted with them IRL.

i hate that buzzer and those systems... when i am part of a tank hunting team we dont use any laser guided wpns for that specific reason.. all them sensors... back to the good old 84mm CarlGustav, dosent pack the same punch but u can get a mobility kill

I think there are plans for a more heavy AT weapon to be implimented into PR sometime anyways, which wont have the tones and jsut fire straight.

nice i would love those

Did you know you can dumbfire the AT rockets? Just don't bring up your scope and fire at the middle of your screen. The missile go perfectly straight and won't set off the lock on tone, but of course it's harder to hit a target that way.

na didnt know that cool thanks

Also if you aim away from the vehicle and 'curve' it on the vehicle there will be no lock tone

i new that one.. but thanks anyway

Thanks. I'll do that.

Still however, should these vehicles have these devices? Or better yet, which vehicles shouldn't have them at all?

APC's, MBT's, Helo's and planes has those for sure.... but the rest shouldnt have it... i never seen a hummer or one of canadas "logistical" vehicule with a laser warning receiver

Yah, I've done that a few times, but only at extremely close ranges, where it doesn't matter if they hear the tone. It does matter when that .50 cal is aimed at you though.

I hope the Carl G is included somewhere along with the RPG-7... what dumbfire AT rocket does the British Army use?

nah, if i remember correctly you still can steer the rocket even without the scope.

There are rocket launchers which dont emit radiation (like wire guided rockets and heat seeking rockets). These should yeld no tone at any vehicle. I'm not sure about the real guidance system of BF2 and PRMM AT rockets, but I think they wouldn't yeld a tone. I'm sure stinger and equivalent anti-aircraft missles are heat seeking, thus stealthy and the aircraft tones should be removed.
